you can use the ! operator with a motion, e.g. 1G!Gsort which will move to the first line, and sort through the end of file (last line, G). with marks 'a' and 'b' set, that would be: 'a!'bsort alternatively, you can do everything from the command prompt. assuming you have the same two marks set: :'a,'b!sort will do the trick. /m
